Shanghai Composite Ends at 1-Month High

2025-12-25 09:17 By Farida Husna 1 min. read

The Shanghai Composite rose 19 points, or 0.5%, to close at 3,960 on Thursday, extending its winning streak to seven sessions, the longest since July, and finishing at a one-month top.

Sentiment was lifted by Beijing’s latest easing of property purchase curbs aimed at stabilizing the struggling real estate sector.

The Shenzhen Component also reversed early losses to end modestly higher, after China's central bank pledged to steady market expectations and keep the yuan “basically stable at a reasonable and balanced level”.

Risk appetite was further helped by record closes on Wall Street’s S&P 500 and Dow Jones Wednesday, owing to rising global interest in Chinese AI firms as funds sought diversification and hunted for the next “DeepSeek” amid concerns over stretched U.S.

tech valuations.

Commercial services, producer manufacturing, and consumer non-durables led gains, with notable movers from Ping An Insurance (2.6%), Foxconn Industrial Internet (2.4%), and China Life Insurance (1.4%).

China Stocks Track Asian Peers Lower
The Shanghai Composite fell 0.7% to close at 3,919 on Thursday, while the Shenzhen Component dropped 1.6% to 13,487, tracking losses across Asian peers as market sentiment turned subdued amid mixed signals from US President Trump on the potential easing of the Middle East conflict. He said the war in Iran was “very close” to completion and expected to meet its objectives in the coming weeks, yet also warned that military operations could escalate even as diplomatic efforts continue. Meanwhile, the People’s Bank of China drained CNY 890 billion through short-term operations in March and absorbed another CNY 250 billion via longer-term tools, reversing months of liquidity support. With growth rebounding and the Iran conflict lifting oil prices, the central bank is taking a more cautious stance that could help China exit record deflation. Notable declines were posted by Contemporary Amperex Technology (-1.1%), Zhongji Innolight (-3.3%), Sungrow Power Supply (-5.4%), and Foxconn (-2.5%).
